Title:
  Google account login using 2FA isn’t remembered across sessions

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This has been reliably reproduced on desktop and a phone running
  webbrowser-app 0.23+16.04.20160711-0ubuntu1 (and oxide
  1.15.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1).

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) wipe your session data (make a backup first if you care) by removing ~/.local/share/webbrowser-app/
  2) launch webbrowser-app
  3) browse to https://mail.google.com
  4) log in with an account that uses 2FA (I’m testing with a @canonical.com address)
  5) read your e-mails
  6) close the browser window
  7) launch webbrowser-app again

  Expected result: you’re back to your inbox, logged in and ready to
  work

  Actual result: google prompts you for your e-mail address. Once
  entered, the login happens automatically, there is no need to do the
  2FA dance again.
